       Narrator states something about Putin's "authoritarian attempt"
       to rewrite history. Only democratic people are allowed to
       rewrite history? Seems biased!  ;D

       > Byock reveals through careful reading of the famed numerous
       sagas associated with Viking voyages and colonial life (i.e.
       Njál’s Saga, set in 10th century Iceland; Greenlander’s Saga,
       written in the later 12th century; and Eirik’s Saga, written in
       the mid 13th century). These sagas are populated by chieftains,
       free farmers, valorous deeds, enemies slain and territories
       taken, aristocratic-democratic forms of government, concerns for
       the honour and ethics of the individual and his family, the epic
       ideal of an individual’s sacrifice to duty to liege lord, and
       the heroic experiences of sailor-farmers colonising Greenland
       and North America.[36]
